More than 16,400 Pinellas County residents cast their ballots to decide who will lead their cities and towns into the future.
Highlighting the races March 9 were four mayoral posts, including three in municipalities along the beaches. Below are some highlights of the official results.
Commissioner Tyler Payne
Treasure Island
There will be a new mayor in Treasure Island after Commissioner Tyler Payne handily defeated incumbent Larry Lunn with 62.33% of the vote. Payne was elected in 2020 representing District 2, which encompasses Isle of Palms and Sunshine Beach. Lunn, who was elected to a three-year term in 2018, also served as commissioner of District 2 from 2017-18.
BELLEAIR â Three candidates are vying for two at-large Town Commission seats in the March 9 election. Commissioner Michael Wilkinson will become mayor; he ran unopposed to replace Mayor Gary Katica, who is retiring after more than 20 years in public service in the city.
One candidate will fill Wilkinsonâs seat. The other winner will replace Deputy Mayor Karla Rettstatt, whose term is ending.
The town faces several major decisions as the new candidates vie for seats, such as whether to invest more than $10 million in a new reverse osmosis water supply system or link to Pinellas Countyâs water system. Belleair would have to disband its water department if the commission approves the county plan.
BELLEAIR â The Town Commission may install a temporary replacement for Mayor Gary H. Katica â who has been absent for treatment of Parkinsonâs disease since October â to ensure there are enough votes to close down the cityâs water department in January.
With Katica out of reach, only four commissioners are now available for that vote. The city charter requires a supermajority vote when creating or disbanding a city department.
Deputy Mayor Karla Rettstatt brought up the predicament Dec. 1 as the commission discussed whether to switch to Pinellas Countyâs water supply or build its own $14 million reverse osmosis plant. The commission hopes to vote in time to meet construction deadlines.
